Is the filter washable?

not really, i use an old toothbrush to clean it out when i empty the canister. you can buy the filters on Amazon as well and they arent too expensive. ive had mine for a few years now and cleaning it out like that ive only had to replace the filter once.

You can wash the filter, but it takes awhile to dry. I bought two HEPA filters for it, so there's a dry one to put in when I (occasionally) wash the other one.

No. It can be cleaned outdoors using a stiff brush, though. That way it will last for a good 6 months.

Yes it is washable, but like stated takes a while to dry. I use this in our RV and it works great; but I keep an extra filter on hand.

No, the Hepa filter is NOT washable but the other one is. I take mine out and vacuum / shake it once in awhile.

I'v had mine for a couple months now and have no need to change the filter, It's a metal type filter and completely washable, just rinse and re-use I use mine for loose leaf tea and works wonderful. Hope this helps

on the manufacturer's website, you should not have to replace the filters. They are washable as far as I have found.

I believe it's a washable filter but I would never recommend this product, it's vacuum is very weak and does not hold much - when I say weak, it does not work on even crumbs really - i should have returned it since I had to buy a replacement for it immediately.

no, it is not washable, but I brush it out after each use, and it works well

No, this is not washable material. Nor can you vacuum it.If you want to be able to wash the filter use a nylon weave type

There are actually two filters. One is above the dust collection. This is the washable one. Yes it is completely washable with warm water. I believe they recomend not using detergent on it. There is a second is below the dust collection. It is a paper filter that cannot be washed.

yes. I wash the foam filter when it gets dirty, but the corrugated filter also gets dirty & needs replacing about every 6 weeks especially with the dirt my labs bring inside.

Well, I would say no, you cannot wash it. It is of paper, and looks like a car air filter, but much smaller, naturally. My last filter lasted for years, and I would tap it on the side of a trash can, to get all the dust out. It was made of pretty darn strong paper. The new one, like the old design, has a plastic filter covering the paper filter, and it has pretty small holes, so only fine dust actually gathers of the (paper) filter. I think you can purchase new paper filters if you need to. Hope this helps.

Yes but I would not recommend it. I just vacuum the pre-filter every few weeks and wash it when I wash the main filter.

Yes, the HEPA filter is completely washable -- but it would have to be replaced after several washings to insure maximum air flow. Before washing the filter, it should be VACUUMED thoroughly FROM THE DIRTY SIDE before WASHING FROM THE CLEAN SIDE. This method has allowed the HEPA filter to be fully functional after over a year of service. Good Luck !

Yes, but there is no need, and the heat and pressure in the dish washer may shorten the life of the filter or damage the integrity (the filter material (white) is glued to the filter holder (purple) part). I just tap the filter off in the waste basket, then rinse under hot running water. Sometimes I spray it with an antibacterial spray cleaner and rinse it again. Then, let it air dry. Good to go the next day!

No. You do have about 3 filters that get replaced at various times. They are not washable. A display screen on the top will indicate which filter needs to be replaced. We have had ours about 2.5 years and I have replaced one filter at about $50 and a second filter is needed at a cost of $150+

Abdul, the filter can be taken out and washed and reused. It is a reusable filter.

Have you taken the filter apart? The whole filter assembly can be taken apart and washed.

I don't think I would try washing them, we just changed our filter for the first time, it lasted 6 months. We love it I would recommend this air purifier to anyone. If I had to change it every 2 months i would agree with you about cost. The purifier lets you know when it needs to be changed.
